Difference between a switchblade and pocket knife?

Post by myswitchblade »

Hi guys,

Pocket knife-a folded blade that open manually by pulling out the blade with your bare hands.A switchblade only has a knife on it, and is spring loaded so it comes out really fast. It is essentially a weapon.

Thanks a lot

What?
Many autoknives come in a multitool package, there are the old cammilus knives or mikovs to name just a few.
This is the magic incantation congress uses to constantly violate the 10th Amendment - "...the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of such shall be prohibited"

An exception you might consider:
Liner Locks with a thumb stud on the blade. Can be spring assisted. These rival pure spring knives, aka switchblades, for speed and only require a thumb to operate. Thumb can be gloved or can be bare. Whole hand not needed except to hold the knife. Hand can be bare or gloved.

The exceptions make things complicated....
